Investigators have learned that a protein called Shp2 plays a critical role in the pathways that control decisions for differentiation or self-renewal in both human embryonic stem cells and mouse ...

Research Sheds Light On Key Trigger Of Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation Date: November 10, 2008 Source: Stanford University Medical Center Summary: Clusters of mouse embryonic stem cells called ...

We report a chemically defined, efficient, scalable and reproducible protocol for differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) toward chondrocytes. HESCs are directed through intermediate ...

Transplantation of neural progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provides a potential therapy for ischemic stroke. However, poor graft survival within the host environment has ...

A pioneering new study led by Florida State University biologists could fundamentally change our understanding of how embryonic stem cells differentiate into specific cell types.

Feature Stem Cell-Based Embryo Models Add a Dimension to Developmental Biology Studying human embryonic development is complicated for several reasons. Models derived from pluripotent stem cells ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

Researchers have uncovered a novel mechanism underlying the skeletal reduction and asymmetry of emu wings. Their research ...

The aggregation of embryonic stem-cell–derived ovarian somatic cell–like cells with embryonic stem-cell–derived primordial germ-cell–like cells resulted in reconstituted ovarioids.

Embryo models could help scientists understand stem cell differentiation, the development of organs, and how defects arise. Scientists imaged this embryo model after eight days in culture. It consists ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called ‘blastoids ...

At the earliest stages of human embryonic development, a small collection of cells known as human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) orchestrates growth and differentiation, eventually giving rise to ...
